Open Graph tags are arguably the most important tags to implement on your site. These tags are used by Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ for enhancing any shared content, which means that adding just a few tags to your site can help you to control your presence and branding on these social networks.

Twitter Cards are social meta tags specific to Twitter. These tags create 'cards' that are shown alongside any Tweets that you're site is included in. If you are at all targeting Twitter or think your content may be shared, you should be adding these tags. Please note: For Twitter to include a 'card' for your site, you must first be approved.
